Sexy movies to watch on Vday night!

Here's my all time list of the sexiest movies! Rent these and cuddle with your love- whether it's your man, woman or self! :)

Lust, Caution- This is a movie about a woman who is a spy and is supposed to become a lover to a man who is some kind of government agent- the trouble is she begins to have feelings for him. It is super steamy and sexy, with an intricate plot underneath.

Bound- This is about a woman who is unhappy with her gangster boyfriend and involves her lesbian neighbor in a plot of theft and revenge. Super hot and a cool movie.

Dirty Dancing- Classic!

Unfaithful- Diane Lane is perfection and you won't believe the ending!

The Notebook- This also goes under the highly romantic category, but it's also very sexy- Ryan Gosling!!

9 1/2 weeks- This is back when Mickey Rourke was really sexy. Yes kids, Mickey Rourke used to be really hot!! I also love Kim Basinger's hair and clothes in this movie.

Mulholland Drive- also the reason why I think Naomi Watts is one of the best actresses out there. This movie is very complex and dark and disturbing and SEXY.

Groundhog Day

In honor of Groundhog day I'd like to highlight.. well, Groundhog Day!

It's a movie about a man (the AWESOME and hysterical Bill Murray) who is stuck reliving the same day (Groundhog day) over and over for years and years. Basically because he's a prick.
If you have never seen this movie stop whatever you're doing and go out and buy it right now!! It's probably only 5 bucks at Walmart.

Winter recommendations

This year New England weather is brutal! Here are some wintry movies to get you through...

Alive

Think you've got it pretty bad? Watch this movie and you'll feel better about your situation. 

I had never seen this film until recently. I always heard all the bad stuff... eating people! Cannibalism!

Don't let that stop you from watching this uplifting (sorry for the cliches) and spiritual movie- it was great!

It's about a rugby team from Uruguay who's plane crashes deep into the snowy mountains of Chile. In winter. Around 30 or so survive the crash with barely any food and hardly any winter clothes. The question isn't HOW they survive but the WILL to survive such an incredible ordeal.

Here are more great chilly movies...

The Shining.
One of my all time favorite horror flicks. So scary!

The Thing.
This is another super scary movie. "the thing" is an alien creature that can mimic the looks of any living person or animal that it kills. Creepy!

Smilla's Sense of Snow.
A great murder/mystery.

Fargo.
Another classic. Lovable and detestable characters all rolled into one.

The Ice Storm.
A very unperfect family movie.

30 Days of Night.
Sometimes you falsely accuse a movie of being cheesy (maybe having to do with Josh Hartnett) then rent them on Netflix and realize you should have seen it in the theater! This was one of those movies for me. A good vampire flick and a great performance by Danny Huston who is one of my favorite actors.

Cold Mountain.
Actually I didn't really like this one, but you might.

Black Swan

She deserves it...

What I thought was the most interesting about "Black Swan" was it's perfect casting. Sometimes a person is so perfect for a role you would've thought they wrote the script with the actor in mind. Maybe they did.
Natalie Portman plays Nina, a ballerina who so desperately wants to play the lead in her companies ballet Black Swan. In the ballet she must play both a good princess type and an evil temptress. The head of the company (played by Vincent Cassel) thinks she's perfect as a good girl but that she's so wrong as the bad girl. Who actually would be a great bad girl would be new comer Lily (played by Mila Kunis)
*BTW- Yeah, Mila did a nice acting job in this role ...but Oscar?  Uh, No.
Why didn't they just hire both girls for both roles? They look a lot alike!
But anyways, basically the movie is about how Nina tortures herself trying to be both sides of the swan role. She also has a creepy mom.
About my perfect casting comment... Natalie Portman comes off (to me) as a very sweet, innocent type of person... just like Nina... and the fact that she went THERE in this film... it was incredible to watch.

The 20 Worst movies I saw in 2010

Avoid!!!

1. Sex and the City 2

I can't believe my girls were reduced to this mess. Disappointing. only watch if you are a super fan like me- you'll find some things in the movie you'll like...

2. Prince of Persia

yawn. Greasy Jake Gyllenhaal with a bad accent is so not appealing to me.

3. The Other Guys

not that funny- I hate it when all the funniest clips are in the previews!

4. Avatar

lame.

5. Alice in Wonderland

Dear Johnny Depp, 

Stop ruining all my beloved childhood movies by playing such a freaky weirdo!!

6. Cirque de Freak

How could such a weird movie with vamps, spiders and a monkey girl turn out so boring?

7. Couples Retreat

stop with the lame comedies!

8. The Spirit

really bad.

9. Greenberg

Ben Stiller plays a jerk from NYC who moves to LA and meets another dumb ass.

10. Bride Wars

bad weave on Kate Hudson.

11. Cheri

ugh. whiny.

12. The Box

made no sense.

13. Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull

I want my money back!!

14. 10,000 BC

I saw this awhile ago but if it wasn't for Jon making caveman mullet jokes this would be the worst movie of all time!

15. the Other Boleyn Girl

the book was excellent. this was not.

16. The Wicker Man

I saw this one awhile ago too but just wanted everyone to know that this could be the worst movie EVER!

17. Honey

I saw it on E! and there was literally NOTHING else on tv. So I turned it off after a few minutes, got my lazy butt up and did laundry instead.

18. Blood: the Last Vampire
dumb.

19. Street Fighter: the legend of Chun Li
The riveting performance by Chris Klein is Oscar worthy! LOL

20. Bangkok Dangerous
known for it's famous quote: "Rain? Your name means Rain?" in spain? on a plane?...

 *actually reading this list I'm realizing how much time I've wasted! 

The 20 Best movies I saw in 2010

Not in any order...


1. The Town
Love a good Beantown thriller...(The Departed) Plus I just love that Jeremy Renner!

2. A Serious Man
I can't describe why- it was just more of a MOOD. The first part of the movie hooks you, and it's just so spooky.

3. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I love a good kick ass girl movie. and a good murder mystery. Lots of creepy guys in that one. Didn't read the books yet...

4. Toy Story 3
made me cry like a baby!

5. Inception
It was just like one of my normal dreams. I totally got it.

6. Kick Ass
Again, I love a good kickin ass girl character. Plus I thought this was a semi realistic super hero movie. As in, he'd really get his ass kicked if he tried to stop a robbery...

7. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Just pure fun! Plus I love that "Ramona" song by Beck.

8. The Hurt Locker
aahhh. Jeremy.

9. Inglorious Basterds
Tarantino is genius! and he gives the audience what they want!

10. Zombieland
I just love zombie movies.

11. Cyrus
Funny as hell

12. Precious
It struck a chord with me. Or maybe that was just Mo'nique hitting me in the head with a frying pan. The book was good also.

13. Let the Right one In
I haven't seen the american version yet, but this movie was excellent.

14. Winter's Bone
*see my previous post for full review

15. The Hangover
I think I saw this in 2009 though? oh well. It was so funny!

16. Splice
I wouldn't exactly call it a "good" movie as I would call it a "WTF! is happening" movie. Insanity.

17. Watchmen
maybe I saw this in 2009? It was a good one anyways

18. Thirst
A great vampire flick with a crazy ending

19. Ice Age 3
don't laugh- this movie was really funny and cute!

20. Marathon Man (oldie but goodie)
The movie where "Is it safe?" became a scary thing to say to someone

The Kids are All Right

The movie was all right.

The Kids are All Right is a movie about siblings- Laser and Joni who want to find out who their real father is. (who was a sperm donor) They have two mothers, one played by Annette Bening and the other mother is played by Julianne Moore. Early on Laser and Joni find their birth dad and try to build a relationship with him (the dad is played by Mark Ruffallo who I feel always plays the same lazy smokey type of character, plus he's kinda annoying) Anyways I don't want to give too much away but the sex in the movie was kind of pathetic and non-believing- which I thought brought the movie down a bit. Otherwise good acting from Annette Bening! Go see "Julia" instead- a much better Bening movie.

Annette Bening and Julianne Moore
